(W)eekends!

weekends should be spent with

picnics

relaxing on the beach
or

reading or shopping or sleeping.

but my weekends weren't as fun. while everyone got to stay at home doing absolutely nothing, going out with friends, watching movies, I had to WORK. my dad opened a cafe at a local university and it only operates on the weekends. so naturally, I had to help.and oh, mom too. since then, our weekends are gone. we'd wake up (very) early in the morning to help with stuff, cooking etc. then while working, i would be thinking of monday. i swear i never looked forward to mondays before! haha. and there were moments where i'd wish i'd be at home or at someone's wedding. BUT fret no more..because my work ended last weekend! yay!

for those who might not know, i've gotten a job in KL(woot!) and will be starting next week. i know im supposed to be excited but i am scared + nervous + worried = puke. i've been dreaming of this for so long that when it really happens, i got all crazy. panic even. lalala.

BUT i can't wait for future meet-ups with the girls! and when i said meet-ups i meant, getting drunk and fly high in the skyyyyyyy. okay, maybe not. but you get the idea. so mundane munster, i WILL bring your dvds along and pass them to you. to fragile heart, i WILL try to find the time to look at your ipod because i have never seen or heard a case like yours. most intriguing. lol. to irda, nats and hana, i can't wait to strike a pose together! weeeee

i'll see all y'all soon!

*pictures taken from google

(X)oxo

X is a very difficult alphabet to tackle, so i looked in the dictionary and found only a few words under X like xylophone, xylograph, xmas and xanthippe? lol. i don't relate to those things, so i can't write much about it without having to google or wiki. so, i decided to blog on xoxo! i've no idea where it came from but i know it's another way of saying Hugs and Kisses. but then again, why use 'x' and 'o'? why not 'h' and 'k'. wouldn't it makes more sense? h for hugs, k for kisses. you don't say 'xugs' and 'oisses'? imagine ur friend saying, "aww...xugssss" or "biiiggg xugs". hahaha. but i guess, using 'h' and 'k' would look weird like this for example,

Get well soon!
Don't forget to take medicine.


hkhk,
fofana

boy, that is hilarious. haha. but i'm sure when they (whoever started it) first use xoxo, people were confused and thought, 'wth is that?' (that would be me). and later, people grew into the idea of it and soon using it almost anywhere. Like in emails, social networking sites, text messages as well as on paper. i do admit i use it occasionally. especially when a friend does it first, then i'll return the 'xoxo' to her. well, not necessarily but you get the idea. tell me this..when you use 'xoxo', do you really mean it or it's just a mere social necessity/accessory that you use at the end of ur texts/short messages?

Y for

Yours Truly!

this was me at the age of..um, 5 or 6? i know, cute right? haha. i loove this picture and i think that (maybe) both my parents keep the same photo in their wallet and purse. aawww.. anyhoo, my cuteness only lasted for a while and i grew up looking like this... (i'm not proud of this but..here it goes)

TADAA..!

i was a complete DORK! HAHA. look at me. i wore huge glasses, huge sequined headband, a medium sized tiered dress (which i used to love), a pair of um..fluffy lacy socks and a pair of what-seemed-like-brogues (konon) maybe? okay not brogue but a hideous pair of shoes. i looked ugleyhh. but heyyy, at that exact moment, i thought i look pretty fancy (quite delusional i must say). i mean, i was a kid and i wear whatever mom bought for me. kinda like trusting her as my personal stylist. on second thought...maybe not. haha. later on.. (after skipping years of high schools and universities) i decided to look like this..

haha.
okay lah, serious serious.

now, that's the real me.
shy shy one.
hihi.

i just wanted to show off my ring. hence, the tutup mata. like i'm actually shy lah.

With love,
Yours Truly

jumping straight to O!

i wanted to do Y but i can't wait to do O. O for Oreo! after watching the new Oreo ad, i was intrigued by their new 'beri biru' flavor. i was like, whaaa...att? beri biru? it took me a few seconds to realized that they meant blueberry. gila direct translation. tsk tsk. anyhoo, that didn't stop me from going to Giant and from browsing the biscuits aisle just to find this...cream biscuit. got home and immediately ripped off the packaging (tudia, rakus. haha) and popped one in my mouth. the ad/packaging claimed that it tastes like ice cream, it did NOT. the Oreo Ice Cream Blueberry biscuits tasted minty instead. i kid you not. they're like breath mints, only with chocolate biscuits outside. BUT, after my second piece of Oreo, i somehow liked it. not crazy like but like like.

give it a try lah. you'll proble like it. but hey..maybe it tastes better after 'dunk'ing it in a glass of milk. yeah..


okay, on an entirely different note, i cut my finger while working yesterday. boo. it's like a paper cut accident only it was from the extremely thin handle(?) of the senduk nasi. -.- it hurts the same yo.

pain!

let's start with Z

the Zoo! what's not to love about zoos, right? i've always loved going to the zoo. one of the first places i went shortly after arriving in Melbourne, was the zoo. in fact, i went there twice! it would have been thrice(?) if i didn't have to work on the day Hana went with my brother.boo. on the second and the last time i went, my housemates and brother were there with me.it was my pre-departure farewell picnic.i wore the most colourful dress i had in my wardrobe. and of course we took pictures of ourselves more than the animals. haha. no lah, where got. my brother lah ni. he excluded almost all of them animals pictures. hence, u'll see more of us here!

don't ask what that giraffe is doing to the other giraffe.
lol.

next zoo destination: Zoo Negara

cant wait!

Alhamdulillah
thank you Allah.

i see food

recently, we went to have some seafood at this huge restaurant which i can't remember the name.we used to go there for birthday dinners but stopped going for few years. i don't recall why but i think it has got something to do with the absence of my brother. anyhoo, this time we decided to go to celebrate mom's birthday. i managed to take a few pictures of the restaurant's exterior.

these are just the outside.
it's much bigger than it seems.
i only took the views from our table.

our entree.
the yummiest steamed nuts(?)

the food took a long time to arrive.
so, i did what i think was cool.
playing with the chopsticks!

the the food came

yeah, only three lauks.
boring, i know.

then i stopped to see their gigantic aquariums.

geoduck? wth are those? then i wiki-ed it and it says, they're from the clam family. one geoduck is approximately 15 to 20cm. that is quite long for a clam, i tell you. and you might wonder how does it related to ducks.well, it has NOTHING to do with those birds! funny, right? it was just because of poor transcription! imagine it's ur name or mine. Nor Finaduck. haha. okay, not funny. plus, this geoduck costs a whopping RM350 each! who would freaking eat it?! not me. even looking at it makes me squirm. and the lobsters, they go for RM45/100gram. i bet these lobsters weigh tons! okay, not funny again.

but hey, the next time any of you (friends only, of course) come to jb, let's eat here! provided i've a job already lah. :D

cokolat

I've always been a big fan of chocolates and I make it a habit to borong chocolates whenever I went back to Malaysia. because most of them aren't available here.Cadbury always come up with new flavours and fillings and this is the recent one i bought in December..Hana, i think u'll like this one because it has vanilla! erm..you did mention you like vanilla right?

berry fruit & vanilla short cake

i didn't like it at first.it tasted weird with all that short cake stuff. but it instantly became mom's favourite.there must be something wrong with me, so i forced myself to eat more and yay! i loved it! see what you can achieve if you force urself to do something? haha. another chocolate that i love love love is this one.

the best organic chocolate ever.well..to me at least.

it is just the smoothest chocolate i've tasted so far. thanks to S for introducing it to me during our trip to Christchurch. i've been looking for this particular one in Malaysia but failed in my attempt.

then, there's this other one that made me and my whole family go crazy over it. the Whittaker's chocolate! comes in blocks as well as slabs.the first few times i saw the slabs, i kept thinking, "who'd want to buy that? the packaging is unappealing, it's fat (in size), it's gold and just doesn't look right." then one day when i was busy looking over other options, this guy came and grabbed a few slabs. i remembered saying to myself, "gila ke this guy?" = "this guy must be crazy". after that, i went and saw KJ and told her about the chocolate and she said, "eh, KJ love the chocolate.it's packed with loads and loads of nuts." TRUE enough. having heard that, i made the best decision in my life. i bought one and FELL IN LOVE with it. so, never judge a chocolate by it's cover. be it gold or silver or green. the good news is, there are Whittaker's right here in Malaysia. the bad news is, they're available in LANGKAWI and, they only stock slabs. no blocks. boo.

if any of you happens to find these chocolates somewhere, let me know please?

Oh, fun!
